Re: Importance of giving time & space
So, instead of waiting, one should take the initiative to break it off oneself, so that one can move on?
I don't understand why you're over-thinking it? I had a friend who moved to another country and doesn't respond to my emails anymore. When she visits the US, she doesn't visit me..let alone call me. I've asked her if everything was okay...if she was upset at me...she said everything was fine. I did my part. I've heard from mutual connections that we have that she's treating them in a similar manner as well...that she's become antisocial. I've tried enough times to talk to her. Again, I more than did my part. I've moved on with my life. There are so many things and people that require my attention. I'm not putting my life on hold for her. If she wants to contact me...she knows how to reach me.
What I'm trying to say is this: You can choose to break off the friendship yourself. Or you can choose to still remain their friend. But either way.......don't wait around for them. You've done your part...now the ball is in their court. They know how to contact you...and when they do...you can continue the friendship. If they don't forgive you....perhaps you committed an offense of a grave nature or if not then perhpas they're just unforgiving by nature. Continuously bugging the person is just going to turn them off to you even more....this is something you really need to think about. You're not going to have a good relationship with someone who bears a grudge in their heart anyway.
